Wait till next months unemployment report. My take is it will be abysmal. As was stated by a teachers union rep, on another thread here. 1 to 2 million teacher were layed off July 1st. Their jobs are not coming back. I tend to believe this number. Further evidence of it is the NEA just increased its dues by 10 dollars a month. Fox said it is to support Obamas re-immaculation, I believe it is to make up for a short fall due to cutting so many teachers jobs. Fewer teachers mean fewer unioun dues.

When will our Mulatto in Chief speak out about the fuckin Norwegian flash mobs?? Sure he's a looter, but at least his color will allow him to call them out without being denounced for his honesty ahh.., I mean racist rant.

"I don’t want to be a prophet of doom -- and I really don’t believe that we are approaching doom -- but I think we’re going to slide into intensified social conflicts, social hostility, some forms of radicalism, there is just going to be a sense that this is not a just society."-- Ex-National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski

The Norwegians already feel all is unjust. Just wait when the fake goobermint jobs and public assistances are removed. They just need one beating or police violence incident to launch Eric Holder and his people into full chaos.

Black people are not productive. You cannot find me one upscale black enclave anywhere in America. And I already know what you liberal hippies are gona' say....it's because they're disenfranchised by the whites. Wrong. We have a black president so that shit doesn't fly anymore (which oddly comes at a time America is despised by the world, and is at it's weakest point arguably ever). Which brings me to my next point that what do you want to bet that even though the unemployment rate for blacks is ghastly (and gotten WORSE under Obama) that he still retains 99% of the black vote? That must be because blacks are immune from racial bias right? You'll never hear anyone talk about that.

And this was a nice story:

Black Youths March in Peoria Screaming, “We Need to Kill All White People!”

I'm sure a racist post like the one above is *bound* to be junked out of existence to preserve the credibility of Zero Hedge.

I didn't mention the forbidden "Jew" word that summons the mega junk storm from hell. Some subjects are just taboo, but I believe the "Norwegian" problem should be the first to explode. <Don't talk about it though>

I think I'll remain and ignoramuse. Egypt fell after the 25th pharaoh (the first mixed race pharaoh) after importing too many and the US is quickly on its way to the same fate. History is fascinating to those not blinded by the last 40 years of bullshit.

No need to invade Canada. The biggest newest group of immigrants are US citizens, seeking the very things that were supposed to be their birthright, as stated in the US Constitution. Thank you. They will make VERY good additions to the citizenry, for they have lost those rights once, but never again. From one who is outside looking in - very little time left to get your s**t together! Almost too late now, in many respects.

Is this maybe that some banks and CBs only file their numbers with the BIS after more than 1 year, so some of the PM derivative position changes didn't make it into the earlier report, but into the later one ?

From what i can gather at a glance, these are OTC's dealing with outstanding amounts from perhaps a growing number of reporting dealers. What exactly is it you are trying to say, WTF? You made me read these for what exactly?

"Might want to look into that, and what you are angry that you don't understand something."

You are completely right Rocky, i dont understand something. Here is what i dont understand - i really dont understand how this site is a repository for every little conspiratorial whim that flows through tortured brain cells at the speed of light.

What does this guy want? a breakdown of some spreadsheet suitable enough to offset his paranoia, he wants people to spell out his error just so he can say "ok then, i will absentmindedly go and find the next crock of shyte for someone to disprove"? And what if they do? ...HES NOT LISTENING EITHER WAY!! ARE YOU LISTENING ROCKY? ARE YOU LISTENING?

Or perhaps he wants pumped full of nonsense, a greater shite than he himself can dream of? (maybe thats why he is looking at things that he doesn’t understand, maybe thats why he’s here? Why are you here? Do you think some black and white Cartoon character is giving you the information you need to know? Pfff, Its amazing that the most paranoid people on the planet aren’t questioning a black and white comic character feeding them information every 5 minutes that for the most part they don’t understand!) No offence Twyer, but well done, you got some almighty bullshit flowing here.

So this guy puts two spreadsheets online and says there is an important difference; by way of posting it here, and by surreal proxy he practically says "you spot the difference and tell me what it means, and when you tell me, i'll tell you what it means" (wink wink, conspiracy is king)- i.e. he has his own little algorithm working things out whatever the case, looping anything that remotely fits together with his dirty paranoid politically warped fantasies...well fuck that. More than anything i am angry with myself for being dragged into this spastic soup.

It angers me that people have taken the gist of some idea, and seem possessed and keen to run with it, run blindly into quite a dark corner of their fantastic ignorance - i do smell that this horseshit has the potential to rip the US to bits, the bullshit is rife, i smell revolution, i smell a bloody revolution of utter confusion - it comes thicker and faster than anyone can work out because there are so many bullshitters wanting to put themselves forward as sages, leaders, gurus and whistleblowers, there is a fair fragmentation underway. Thats what makes me angry Rockyfuckingracoon, every time I hear some bullshitting fucker on here talking stuff he wont even take the time to understand, ...im having trouble understanding how America comes out from under such a weight of SHYTE, SHYTE MOTHERFUCKER SHYTE!!!

Nicely put. Actually, we are on the same side of the issue. I just care a bit less about the insignificant. If one can smell a set-up, just pass. Like walking across the street to avoid a blind alley. No need to ask for trouble. ZH is not much different from other sites other than some of the better ones are more thoroughly patrolled by the owners. Since ZH has no person's name (other than a movie character) attached to it, there is no personal harm to an individual done by the weirdos who frequent the place. There are those who come here having been booted from other sites and we reluctantly tolerate them because there is no choice. Sure, some have mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard from again (by the same handle anyway), but if they keep their noses relatively clean they get to stay.

I'm not smart enough to judge the merits of that. Just as I didn't get hooked by the double-speak comment and its links, I don't go off into the weeds on figuring out who/what runs ZH, nor their motives.

Frustration is apparent in your comment and I feel the same way sometimes. Lashing out at the nearest contact is normal. TPTB probably know how to channel and control that -- until they can't.

This is a nice comment and sentiment. But I understand scratchy's doomer fatigue.

I mean, have you ever watched one of the dozen apocalpse-porn zombie movies with the same hideous plot only moreso? You know, a steely-eyed hero hacking up zombies with a chain-saw protecting hard-nippled girls huddled behind him and such? And suddenly thought to yourself in the middle of it: "My Lord, how utterly pathetic! This is the best we can do?"

We can do better than blame jews and blacks and the other groups we pull out of our personal box of hate for problems we brought on ourselves. Everybody wants to find a reason behind every downfall, an explanation for every failure that doesn't involved them in the explanation. So they blame some evil masterminds or some group painted in the mind's eye exactly like the source of all problems. All you have to do is accept on pretty blind faith that there is some inner reality unconnected to obvious everyday mundane facts that put at least some of the blame solely on ourselves.

There are no masterminds at work at the Fed or the ECB, just people desperately snorting some failed ideology up their nose like it was cocaine. The people in charge can't control situations or know the future at all. They don't know what they are doing anymore than the rest of us. There isn't some secret cabal of people buying up everything to make people debt slaves. The facts are that the Fed bought crap because no one else would touch it. They decided to get rid of it, turned down a $15.7 billion offer for it, only to have half of it not trade at all.

The blind faith is exhausting crap, and it is self-defeating. A believer can't take different points of view at face value. Instead there is an assumed sinister motive to every dissenting opinion. I can't say that this is a financial site first and foremost anymore, because many don't see it that way. I accept this as how it is. But I am disgusted and call out some of the worst in human nature when I see it displayed.

Thanks for that thoughtful reply. Seems like civility is getting scarcer.

I always like to remember that the mind, like nature, abhors a vacuum. If there are no credible explanations forthcoming, we will fill the gap with our own or another's fantasy. It makes us more comfortable. Not knowing is disconcerting. The trick is not buying into so much crap.

It gets more difficult as things come off the rails progressively. I got an email from a very stable pillar of the community this evening. He is not happy nor satisfied. When these folks get the message the jig is up. Revolutions do not center on the lower classes; all they know how to do is break stuff. Successful revoulutions have been guided and driven by those formerly of the upper crust.

It was all perfect rocky, i was really getting into that...until you mentioned the TPTB looking to launch a mind attack on me. Fuck man thats scary, and i am giving you the benefit of the doubt here, but Rocky i have had BBC and Sky blasted into my living room for 32 years, i know what the TPTB are capable of, and they are all batshit crazy, barely holding it together, imbeciles, you should have a closer look, i guarantee you will laugh your bollocks off. TBTB should be called TPTABO...the pricks that always burn out.

You know, I have always rested easy knowing that the more aware amongst us will not succumb to the hype and the lies. Sure, there is lots of talk about "sheeple" and such, but those folks will always be with us. They will not change, but they sure can cause havoc if their bread and circuses are removed. Lordy, help us then.

PS tell my buddy Bill Bonzai that I have a Sterling Idea for the man. I got it, where you would naturally suspect, from story-time with my youngest. Imagine a tryptich of bernake/dr. suess/the global banking cartel -- it isn't so hard for a hat cat like me.

...

I could explain it in elaborate and extravagant detail, but the metaphor really speaks for itself. Just check it out...you'll see. The "pink-ink" is the debt.

Can I say, in a sort of football-fraternal sort of sense, that I love you guys?

Let me preface this a bit...

Sorry I had to take a couple of weeks; week before being High-Saxon Holy Week (Wimbeldon (in fact, I was surprised to see you were all still here, pretending Nadal wasn't even on the court)), and the week since bearing no less import. I am in my mid thirties (yes, still in the mids), and since I felt I owed society more than I'd heretofore been willing to sacrifice, I decided, not long ago, to pursue medicine. That effort was hastily and happily aborted on the second day of my 'shadowing' (where you toddle along after a board certified creep); whereupon I discovered that most people are a bunch of malingering belly-achers who need a swift kick in the ass rather than palliative medicine. I felt certain that I would inevitably poison no less than forty per cent of my patients, if ever any state were hapless enough to license me. And so, after my Big Silver Buy over the forth, I had what one may fairly call an epiphany.

Now, I'm not the sort to toss around a word like 'epiphany', like it was your run of the mill notion. Hell no, I employ words with laser-like precision; and so it came to pass that Janus was burdened by the Real McCoy, a sure-fire epiphany.

My muse spoke softly at first, 'janus...janus, turn down the music, dear...JANUS! prick up your ears, son! i was brooding over your future and all, seeing how you've neglected the subject of late. anyway, i was thinking. you know how you really like these people in the revolutionary-finance world? well, it stands to reason that you could do it, too -- seeing how you're a math-wiz and all that, and with your knack for colating Cosmic Truth, seems you'd be a natch.'

I'll carry on with just about anyone, but I'm not one to argue with muses (and mine is intolerant of argument to begin with), and so it seems I'm on my way.

Only thing is, I don't find myself subscribing to these ideologies or 'schools of thought' the way I once did. I'm more in the fear/greed camp (with respect to analysis). That, and listening to the lessons to which others turn a deaf ear -- the impatient cusses -- y'all seem to have your finger on the pulse, though.

And I guess to conclude these loving thoughts I'll say that I'm sick of something: I'm really weary of this sniveling, this 'who'll lead after the fall? what if the new tyrants make us pine for the old?' nonsense. We are the new rulers, gentlemen (and ladies); we are the New Age; it is us of whom they will write legends. The time is now.

One of the more absurd comments I heard recently was that if the banks had not been rescued, all the ATM machines would have stopped working! Mind you, the “rescue” was not implemented by sending out Brink’s armored trucks with cash to stock the ATMs. It was done simply by opening a “window” at the Fed.It is this kind of “consuMORON” thinking that I find baffling, however, Washington knows it can count on it. Because I could get $200 of MY OWN money from an ATM to spend that weekend, it makes PERFECT sense to bail out the banks, restore their bonuses, let them keep their profits while socializing their losses. So what if it reduces my and my children’s living standards in the future? I had a good weekend because the ATM was working.Much of the sorry history of the “financial crisis” is now well known. The theft, fraud, the waste and misallocation of capital in order for the players to get their “cut” of the trillions of dollars of ‘fake money’ created by “financial innovation”, which lies at the heart of our moribund economy, is staggering.We all know that the markets are a reflection of the economy, and ultimately the markets are about CONFIDENCE. The economy has stopped working because of this lack of confidence. The stock and commodity markets are merely a fig-leaf of Mr. Bernanke’s imaginary “wealth effect.” The bond markets is sailing on money created out of thin air.The average American simply appears to have thrown up his arms in despair and helplessness because he/she knows that Wall Street and Washington care nothing about them beyond using them as pawns in the endless and fruitless “talking point” debates and dueling op-eds in the media.The “housing” part of the financial crisis has mostly been ignored. And “job creation” is a mantra to use only on TV to pretend that you are doing something as a “leader”.With massive mis-allocation of capital into credit instruments of all types, and resulting attendant demand on future cash flows for interest and principle payments, is it any surprise that no oxygen is left for the real economy? This is THE PROBLEM! It is best ignored, because we know where those interest payments and principle have to end up. Hint – it’s not at any store on Main Street, where it is called lack of "demand".Drastic intervention was called for to deal with the so-called “financial crisis” (as if was caused by the weather) by taking over failed big banks and cleaning them up in a fair open and honest way, including punishing those responsible by making them disgorge their ill-gotten gains.Instead, the people responsible have been rewarded, and too big to fail institutions are even bigger. And all the “risk” is now deliberately piled onto the aching backs of tax payers of the future and reducing their standards of living. To add insult to injury, those who have captured Washington now call the lack of confidence “Uncertainty” and keep braying about “too much regulation.” And demanding more “tax cuts” to boot with fake promises of investing and creating jobs. Fool me once, “YES WE CAN” get fooled, again!Obama should quit complaining about the economy he “inherited” not being as strong as he would like, like 9”. By failing to take firm action on behalf of the American people, and instead jumping into Wall Street’s bed, he is clearly responsible for making things worse and digging us into an even deeper hole.

i thought so-~---~-the sentiment. trying to stay balanced has its rough edges, and freedom, well, it grows on you, as i'm sure you know. so, good! and i hope you feel better when you're ready. tough choices, not bad choices. still, it is gone, now. so be it.

i didn't say you were lying, s_n_s. i don't think you were, even. but it's saturday evening, in ny. are the markets open? from your orig post, maybe 1 is, the other isn't. i don't know.

maybe i just don't understand what you are saying. you put the quotes in present time, it seemed; the arb is is present time; and then monday. if you put the time data up, or relate it, in writing, for the time sensitive price data, it sure would be a lot easier to see what the fuk you are saying, than going thru this. that's all.

again, help me understand this by telling me what the time/date on those 2 screens are, for those prices. i don't operate in these markets.

uh,...the name-calling was not abt your motives in putting up the data.

ok mate, the time is tonight, you can trade the weekend on some platforms, OANDA for example. You can place trades with OANDA 24/7....but FXCM updates on saturday too, and they are quoting 1.4346 as of now, where OANDA are quoting 90 pips below, right?

Heres the FXCM quote, and the OANDA quote is the same as the pic earlier...

just in from The Washington Post: A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 has hit off the northeast Japan coast, prompting a tsunami warning.

The quake hit at 9:57 local time (0057 GMT) and a warning of a possible tsunami was issued for most of the northeastern coastline. The epicenter of the quake was in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan’s main island, Honshu.
